This article explains how to configure ADAudit Plus to notify administrators when new product release notes are published so teams can plan upgrades and stay aware of fixes and enhancements.

Prerequisites  

• The technician account used to log in to ADAudit Plus must have administrative access.

• The mail server (SMTP) must be configured and working under Admin > General Settings > Server Settings > Mail so ADAudit Plus can send emails.

• You must have the recipient email addresses (individual ones or a distribution list) that should receive the notifications.

Steps to follow

1. Log in to the ADAudit Plus web console using an account with administrative privileges.

2. Go to Admin > General Settings > Privacy Settings.

3. Under Notifications, check the box next to Enable Product Release Notes notification.

4. If you have not configured the mail server yet, go to Admin > General Settings > Server Settings > Mail, enter your SMTP details, and click Save Settings.

5. Return to Admin > General Settings > Privacy Settings > Notifications and verify that Enable Product Release Notes notification remains enabled.

Validation and confirmation  

1. Send a test email by going to Admin > General Settings > Server Settings > Mail Server Settings > Mail and clicking Test Mail to confirm delivery.

2. Go to Admin > General Settings > Privacy Settings > Notifications, and confirm the status for Enable Product Release Notes notification.
   
   
   
   

3. After the next ADAudit Plus release is published, verify that an email is received at the configured recipient mailboxes.

Tips  

• Use a distribution group for the recipients to ensure coverage for your whole admin team.

• Ensure your firewall and proxy allow outbound connections to your mail server and ManageEngine domains if required by your environment.

• Periodically review the recipients and keep the distribution list updated when team members change.
